Obamanomics
n.— «While Mr. Obama’s economic platform is still in its formative stages, interviews with his aides and a review of his congressional record and speeches suggest that Obamanomics may place him somewhat to the left of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, but to the right of former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, another rival for the 2008 nomination.» —“Seeking Clues to Obamanomics” by Deborah Solomon in Washington, D.C. Wall Street Journal Apr. 24, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
